Protective Behaviours - School Wide Expectations
Each term we focus on these expectations, particularly Respect and Safety. This term we continue to focus on Safety. Part of this means we cover the Victorian Curriculum outcomes in regard to students keeping themselves and others safe.
This term, across the school, we are focussing on:
● Who are our safe people (Safety Network)
● Safe/unsafe feelings and actions
● Early warning signs – responses (feelings and physical) when we feel unsafe
● We have a right to bodily autonomy (body bubble/space)
● We can identify public and private body parts (including the mouth)
● When touch might be necessary (safe people hugging us or giving us a kiss, doctors, nurses, allied health professionals)
● The difference between secrets and surprises
If you wish to discuss this further or would like any clarification please contact Jodie Mallows (Deputy Principal, Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour Support Leader, Child Safety Officer).
